NEW TITLE NEWS ~ THE GHOSTS & SCHOLARS BOOK OF LANDSCAPE FIGURES

THE GHOSTS & SCHOLARS BOOK OF LANDSCAPE FIGURES

Once again Rosemary Pardoe will edit and introduce what (she says) might be her final Ghosts & Scholars anthology (the seventh!). A good place to finish with the volume Ro has always wanted to do.

Thirteen devilishly eerie tales where the authors have taken English landscapes and the strange figures, images and patterns often depicted and carved thereon as inspiration for truly uncanny and weird histories… Six of the stories have been selected from (mainly) small press publications and seven are brand new and were written expressly for this volume (including one by the editor herself ~ the first Jane Bradshawe story in almost forty years).

The reprints:  “The Madness of a Chalk Giant” by Colin Insole. “Figures on a Hillside” by Steve Duffy. “The Pharisees’ Glass” by R.B. Russell. “Chalk” by Katherine Haynes. “The Regulars” by David Longhorn. “All I Ever See” by Mike Chinn.

The ‘new’ stories:  “The White Round” by John Howard. “Lob Top” by Christopher Harman. “And Then There’s Place-Name Studies” by John Whitbourn. “The Scouring” by Carole Tyrrell. “Dyrehill Park” by C.E. Ward. “The Lickey Beast” by David A. Sutton and “The Lady and the Unicorn” by Mary Ann Allen (aka Rosemary Pardoe).

Paul Lowe has (once again) provided a quite exceptional and brilliant dust jacket painting and a pretty scary black & white frontispiece.

NEW TITLE NEWS: THESE AND OTHER MYSTERIES by STEVE DUFFY

“THESE AND OTHER MYSTERIES” by STEVE DUFFY

Steve Duffy is the author of the collections The Night Comes On, The Five Quarters (with Ian Rodwell), Tragic Life Stories (all Ash-Tree Press), The Moment of Panic (PS Publishing) and, more recently, from Sarob Press, Finding Yourself in the Dark and The Faces at Your Shoulder.

He is an International Horror Guild award winner for ‘Best Short Story’ (“The Rag-and-Bone Man”) and a Shirley Jackson award winner for ‘Best Novelette’ (“Even Clean Hands Can Do Damage”).

Sarob Press is delighted to present a new and truly exciting collection of eight stories from the pen of one of the very best and original story writers working in the genre today. Three of the stories have appeared previously and five are all new and were written expressly for this volume.

Black magic in the suburbs of Manchester. The no-man’s land of the heart. Late night ghosts on TV. Following the footsteps to Carcosa. Seaside memories that turn to horror. Summoning elementals in a Scottish castle. Answered prayers and a weird messenger. Journeys end and lost loves...

The protagonists in these eight stories encounter the strangeness and the terror which lies beneath the surface of our British cities, in the trenches of WWI, on a cold grey Lincolnshire beach, in dark and terrible recollections and on a summer lakeside holiday in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence.

The stories: “Dead Centre of Manchester*” “The Harvester of Ladslove” “Screen Burn” “Stations*” “Last Rites at Saltstrand*” “The Strathantine Imps” “Three Deals with the Supreme Being*” & “The Lake of the Lost*” with a foreword and notes on the stories by the author. *Previously unpublished. 

THESE AND OTHER MYSTERIES is a Hand Numbered Limited Edition Jacketed Hardcover. Bound in Light Blue Cialux Italian cloth/linnen, Foil Blocked to Front & Spine, Quality Enso Creamy Text Paper, Marble Design Endpapers, Section (Thread) Sewn binding, Head/Tailbands and Ribbon Bookmarker.

Approx 192pp including prelims/foreword etc.
